Z Z INVENTOR Sze/woo ATTORNEY wardly and angularly to surround the openings 13 thus provided, and to provide directing members ory shutters 1l. The device being constructed of metal the shutters 14 may be arranged at a desiredangle with respect to the fran'ie 2 so that the inner shutters 14 will positively direct Yair currents downwardly over the inner face of the window pane lil,V and the outer shutters 14k may be adjusted to permit of the free entrance ofthe air at any desired angle with res-pectf to the frame, and the'notches 11 in the ledge. 10 provide for the entrance of the air from the lower portion ofthe stool as will hereinafter be more fully set forth, to

the inner facel ofthe paneat theY lower portion `or edge thereof.

The-sides zofthe-stool 5 at their lower edges` are beveled, as at 15, and the back or inner plate 8 may from its 'straight surface Vbe bent and continued in the. direction of l thel saidl inclined edges` 15' providing the base` 16 of the stool; The outer face of the stool is indicated by the numeral 17 and comprises a rounded plate 18 that has its endsseeured' to the edges of the sides G of the stool.Y `This forms the stoollwith a hollow compartment which is designated by the numeral'19. The plate 8 is provided with openings 20-connnunicating with the compartment 19, and the outer plate 7. at its adapted to pass and from thence through theopeningsfQOinto thecompartment 19, and through the. notches 11 in the ledge 10 over theinner face of the window pane 12. The

rounded plate 18 has its upper edge flared f 10 and provides a directing means for the t air currents as well as a means for directinO' moisture from the window pane to within the compartment 19, the said moisture finding an outlet through the notches 11 in the ledge 10, the openings 2O in the inner i plate SV of the stool and from thence through .the openings 21 in the outer plate of the saidv stool.

From the above description taken in connection with the drawings, it will be noted that the device is comparatively simple in construction, and may be cheaply manufactured. The metallic frame being arranged in the window opening does not interfere with the proper trimming of the window casing and the advantages of the construction will, it is thought, be apparent without further detailed description.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

In a Ventilating window construction, a frame having channeled sides and a channeled top receivinga window pane therein, a hollow stool integrally formed with the frame andprojecting beyond the lower edge thereof, a transversely disposed notched ledge on one of the walls of the hollow stool supporting the lower edge of the window pane. a

compartment inclosing the ledge and having its upper end spaced from Contact with they window pane, and said stool having openings which communicate with the compartment and having other openings at the lower portion of the wall thereof opposite that on which the compartment is arranged.

In testimony whereof l afiiX my signature.
